Year 6 Visual Art

Students explore visual conventions, processes, and materials in their artworks and those they experience. They describe how artworks from various cultures, times, and contexts communicate ideas. Through units on media experiments, Indigenous Art, and colour theory, they develop, document, and present artworks expressing ideas and perspectives.
